A 28-year-old suspect in the killings of several women was arrested by Mexico City police as he was in the process of disposing of the body of his latest victim, the Federal District Public Safety Secretariat said.

Diego David Meza Hernandez, “who apparently seduced and then abused his victims, later strangling them with his bare hands until they died of asphyxiation,” was arrested, the secretariat said in a statement.

Officers were on patrol just outside the town of San Miguel Topilejo when they received an emergency call about a possible kidnapping and responded.

The officers were at kilometer 33 of the Mexico City-Cuernavaca federal highway in San Miguel Topilejo when they spotted a bus parked on the side of the road.
